SLIDE 1
A breakthrough technology in the biological treatment of water
BioGill – Our Story
SLIDE 2
- Microorganisms are nature’s
premium decomposers and recyclers that grow and consume best in a high nutrient, high oxygen environment.
- BioGill technology delivers this
perfect environment
- The Nano-particulate structure of
BioGill membranes allows microorganisms to easily colonise the vertical membrane and grow into a dense vibrant biomass.
- The vertical nature of the
membranes allows for compact bioreactors that delivers a large membrane area with a high volume treatment capacity.
The Science behind BioGills
SLIDE 3
BioGills are an enclosed biological factory that acts as both “stomach” & “lung” in the cleaning of water. Patented Nano-Ceramic Membranes™ provide the perfect air (high oxygen TRANSFER) & liquid (high nutrient) interface. Each BioGill delivers a treating biomass 5 to 15 times that of competing biological wastewater treatment systems.
Ground-Breaking Technology
The result: Accelerated treatment at low cost and low energy.
SLIDE 4
(known as “gills’) are formed into a loop pair separated by a spacer to allow for airflow.
compacted vertically in a Treatment Core.
- Wastewater is dispersed over
the gills and then gravity-fed through the core.
- Nutrients are quickly removed
as wastewater contacts the biofilm on the gills.

SLIDE 8 Temperature: Bacterial Biomass 20-35 °C Fungal Biomass 15-25 °C (Yeast is similar to Fungal Biomass) Mixed Biomass 20-30 °C pH: For BOD removal 6.5-8.0 (preferred is 7.0±0.5) For Nitrogen removal 7.0-8.0 Low temperatures reduces BOD or nitrogen removal considerably. Once BioGills start working they generate enough heat to raise the temperature of gills by 2-5 °C depending upon the metabolized carbon or nitrogen. BioGill membranes can be seeded with selected organisms for selected contaminant removal like yeast for “phosphorus” removal.

SLIDE 10 We have taken this Australian- designed technology and re-designed it to create a product form of BioGill that is:
The “smarts” of the BioGill is the “gill”. This can be loaded into any sized- system – from the smallest units (fish tank) right through to large industrial projects.
Design
SLIDE 11
Australia: Membrane production, Design + Engineering China: Plastic housing + Spacers India: Stainless Steel Frames Components can be delivered direct to site with assembly anywhere in the world.
Manufacturing
BioGill controls the manufacturing of the “gills”. (100,000M² can fit into a shipping container).
